Not my flares... the Mrs's... do you remember Croft Motors Tim ...Derbyshire I think.To be honest never heard of them. Is that where picure was taken as it is just a knees down shot on my tablet?
I don't know what make this (straight through) 4 into 1 was, but my mum reckoned she could hear me setting off when I left my girlfriend's house over a mile away. K2 front end not too clever either, but I was oblivious in those days to such niceties. The Bell sticker covered a dent, I think.Said girlfriend later dumped me after I clipped an oncoming Volvo, and then asked her if my exhaust was OK, forgetting about her now damaged foot.I later had a Triumph T140V with home made aluminium pillion footrest brackets , I was genuinely surprised when one snapped off, clearly I wasn't up for the young metallurgist of the year award.
I modified my CB160 and fitted one of those hideous elasticated, reflective orange Honda headlight covers. I also fitted a huge top box complete with stickers of bikes I didn't own and fitted indicators. To add to my new found 'coolness' I modified my hairstyle a few weeks after this photo was taken with the addition of a perm.....Neither 'modification' lasted for long and I reverted back to standard... 🤔
Bad pic but looks similar

Got pulled one day at midnight coming home for making excessive noise! Had actually been to see a Shakespeare play. Dressed in tasselled leather jacket etc., dont think plod believed me! >:
Ah, funny you should mention Marvin pipes.My current 750k1 project will be fitted with a original unbaffled Marvin! With bell mouths. So it should howl a bit.Sean.
